Tharah proudly sits on 6 park-like acres in picturesque Mount View, with un-interrupted views of the surrounding hills and ranges. This property ideal for those larger groups of families and friends or corporate clients looking for a peaceful retreat at the foot of the mountains.

This remarkable country homestead will embrace you with its friendly and welcoming feel. You will be instantly impressed with the beautifully landscaped gardens and manicured hedges. The generous open-plan spaces and large living areas, complete with an expansive covered outdoor entertaining area, spilling onto a sparkling in-ground pool and outdoor pizza oven makes the ideal setting for entertaining your family and friends. The new games room boasts a pool table, dart board and table tennis table.

Boasting 9 spacious bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms (including 2 ensuites-one featuring a corner spa bath), this impressive homestead can comfortably accommodate up to 22 guests or 18 guests in separate beds.

Tharah features a large brand new open-plan country-style kitchen with stone bench-tops, stainless steel appliances as well as an impressive country-style oven and cook-top, large enough to cater perfectly for those special family occasions and celebrations! The kitchen flows seamlessly into a large dining area with slow-combustion wood burning fire and breath-taking views over the in-ground pool to the surrounding vineyards and mountains beyond.

With 9 foot ceilings throughout, reverse cycle ducted air-conditioning, 2 over-size lounge areas featuring a double wood-burning fireplace, Tharah is the perfect choice to relax and unwind with your favourite glass of hunter vino!

Great place with space and serenity
Property was really nice and the set up worked for our group.The property maintenance could be improved - most of the fly screens were off the windows. The blinds were all mouldy. And there were rats in the house, they ate our bananas on the main table.

Fabulous !
We went to Tharah to celebrate 3 of our friends turning 60. The property was magnificient - we loved everything about our stay. The house was immaculant and had everything we could wish for. The location was fabulous and only a few minutes walk to a local winery Briar Ridge for wine tasting. We highly recommend Tharah and hope to return.

Best family holiday in years!
House was amazing with plenty of living areas and outdoor areas so everyone had their own space but we were altogether. Loved the big dining table so that we could all eat together and when cooking still be able to chat to the group as we relaxed!

Great property
We had a great stay at Tharah and the location is excellent for visiting the wineries. The property was exactly as advertised with enough space for everyone and a great play area for the children. The complimentary wine was a nice touch and saved us going out to find something on the arrival night.

Home Away from Home
This was one of the best accommodations we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. It allowed our family to stay & play together. What we loved a lot was the dining table that allowed our entire family to sit down together for the first time ever. I couldn't recommend Tharah House enough it has everything you could want or need.

Our family of 16 adults and dog had a wonderful long weekend at Tharah. The location is beautiful and close to some great wineries. Generally the facilities at the house were good.I’ll write privately regarding some suggestions. Thank you to the staff at Hunter Valley Stayz for good communication and returning the forgotten hairdryer!

Great Location Excellent Space
Tharah is fantastic for larger groups and the location is simply breathtaking. The house was well kept, although a few things needing some TLC. Outdoor area could use a good clean but was great to have. A few lights wouldn’t work inside however other than that everything was fantastic. Will certainly use Tharah again!

Family Reunion Excellence at Tharah
Tharah met and exceeded our expectations for our Family Reunion for 16 guests (and 2 dogs) in Feb, 2023. The property was missing nothing to make the stay thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining for guests ranging from 18 to 87! The ability to self-cater with every confidence that there were all the amenities to enable us to do so made for a hugely successful time. We utilized every resource while there..... the pool, the games room, the pizza oven, the BBQ, the completely equipped kitchen, local wineries, and other amenities. We practically lived outdoors under the covered patio which lent itself perfectly to hot summer days. The home was spotlessly clean and well serviced prior to our arrival. Thank you to the managers of this property! A few tiny attention to details that are just routine wear and tear we have made note of, but nothing of any importance. Highly recommend this property!!

Family reunion
We had the best time with our family at "Tharah". The house has spacious living areas , comfortable lounges and decorated beautifully. The kitchen has 2 big fridges, a 4 oven stove and all the cooking equipment needed to cook meals for a large group.The large 22 seat dining table accommodated our family . A door leads from this area to a spacious covered entertaining area which has a long table and seating, bbq, wood fired pizza oven and a gas heater which makes it cosy even when the temperature is low. Just off this area is the fenced swimming pool [was too cold for a dip} but in warmer weather would be wonderful. The beds were very comfy and nice linen .The games shed is a great amenity, with table tennis, pool table[ in good condition] lounges , fridge etc.. Overall a perfect house to enjoy ones family or friends,[ we all felt it was our new home!] Owner John and Hunter Valley Stays are a very welcoming , helpful and caring team..thank you from all of us.

Wonderful house but desperately needs some thorough cleaning.
The house was spacious and accommodated our group quiet comfortably. Wonderful kitchen. House overall was acceptable and the grounds were great. - Windows, window sills and fly screen need a thorough clean. Build up of dust and dirt - outside entertaining area needs a thorough clean. - exposed nails on kids play equipment. - lounges and bed bases are heavily stained - exhaust fans in bathrooms were really clogged and dirty - heating in master bedroom(s) area didn’t work well. - BBQ worked but we couldn’t cook off it. - outside heater didn’t work unless we stood there holding the button on - found spiders in children bed - nowhere the hang clothes, only a few hooks in each room. - house was clean on the surface but overall pretty grubby. For the price to stay at this property, we were disappointed.

This house was perfect for our large group stay. The facilities were excellent, and covered all bases. Plenty of beds, a very large kitchen and the games room which provided lots of entertainment. The house was clean and the location was great, with beautiful views. Properties that can accommodate such a large group are hard to find and we would highly recommend this one.
